Audio bit depth. An analog signal (in red) encoded to 4-bit PCM digital samples (in blue); the bit depth is four, so each sample's amplitude is one of 16 possible values. In digital audio using pulse-code modulation (PCM), bit depth is the number of bits of information in each sample, and it directly corresponds to the resolution of each sample.
FLAC (/ f l æ k /; Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an audio coding format for lossless compression of digital audio, developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation, and is also the name of the free software project producing the FLAC tools, the reference software package that includes a codec implementation.
Pulse-code modulation ( PCM) is a method used to digitally represent analog signals. It is the standard form of digital audio in computers, compact discs, digital telephony and other digital audio applications. In a PCM stream, the amplitude of the analog signal is sampled at uniform intervals, and each sample is quantized to the nearest value ...
DVD-A. DVD-Audio is a digital format for delivering high-fidelity audio content on a DVD. DVD-A is capable of frequencies from 0 to 96 kHz with a maximum dynamic range of 144 dB. Dynamic range. The ratio of the amplitude of the loudest possible undistorted sine wave to the root mean square (rms) noise amplitude.
Passband modulation. In electronics and telecommunications, modulation is the process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal, with a separate signal called the modulation signal that typically contains information to be transmitted. [citation needed]
MIDI ( / ˈmɪdi /; Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a technical standard that describes a communication protocol, digital interface, and electrical connectors that connect a wide variety of electronic musical instruments, computers, and related audio devices for playing, editing, and recording music.
SBC (codec) SBC, or low-complexity subband codec, is an audio subband codec specified by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) for the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP). [1] SBC is a digital audio encoder and decoder used to transfer data to Bluetooth audio output devices like headphones or loudspeakers.
Analog. around 3–5 minutes per side. 45 rpm record. Analog. often around 4 minutes ( EP: 7 minutes) per side, up to 6 per side, in some cases even a few minutes longer. LP record. Analog. typically 15–25 minutes per side (30 minutes per side for classical & spoken word), although 45 minutes is possible with tight groove spacing and no ...
